It comes down to pair matching - Ken Kessler used to do reviews and found that speakers were often "off" their partner by as much as +/-5.9dB - and these were $10,000+ loudspeakers.It may be even worse as I have not read most of his reviews. So at any given frequency a left speaker could be 5dB higher than the right speaker. Some speaker makers are very good in this regard. My speakers are a maximum 0.2dB full bandwith off their partner - KEF advertises they are within 0.5dB.
BUT - you should also make sure it is not a poor recording or the amplifier - flip the speaker connections so as to ensure it is not the amplifier balance being off.
